When God give you a gift...
...he also gives you a whip.
- Truman Capote

What will you do if you find a box of money on your doorstep? Tum (Lalita Panyopas) decides to keep. The movie traces a day in her life after she finds the money. This is one of Pen-Ek Ratanaruang's earlier films. I have to hand it to him for keeping us glued to the movement of this morbid film which he has magically infused with snatches of humor. And he does indeed have fine taste in women.
